How to Decide Between the Four

Ask yourself:

• Do I care more about gated security or walkability and modern layouts?

• Is my dream lifestyle more golf and water, or pools and parks for the kids?

• Do I want a brand-new feel, or an established neighborhood with big trees?

Your answers usually point very clearly toward one or two of these four as the best match.
